Beautiful, Well-Kept Cabin

Our stay was wonderful! The cabin is precious, well-decorated, and extremely clean. The host reached out to us to ensure our stay was going well. The procedures for checking in and checking out were simple. When I left an item at the cabin, the owner worked quickly with housekeeping to ensure its quick return. We will definitely be back next time we’re in Mentone!

Great spot Mother/Daughter weekend

The cottage is in a great location near Mentone spots like the Wildflower Cafe, the Sallie Howard Church and walking distance to a great sunset at Brow Park. The home is exactly as described, clean and well-stocked. The owner/manager was incredibly responsive when we couldn't figure out the heat/air (which was very easy once pointed in the right direction). We would stay here again.

This cabin has it all!

The Red Birds Roost cabin was a great place to stay in Mentone. Convenient to shopping and Brow Park, you are right in the mix for views and shopping. The host literally thought of everything you might need and have it included in this beautiful log cabin. This was by far the cleanest cabin that we have ever stayed in! We love the screened in porches and spent hours outside watching the squirls and birds. Relaxing weekend!!!

A Little Slice of Heaven in Mentone

A charming delightful cabin on the lower brow with all the amenities you need. The cabin is decorated very tastefully with touches of its namesake placed in strategic places. Situated in an ideal location for a peaceful stay home experience but close enough to town to walk. The cabin is very clean. The screened in porch is nice. The linens and towels smell divine. It was a nice touch to have the owner call and check if everything was meeting our expectations and it was and more.

Girls weekend

Last min trip with friends to do some antique shopping in Ft Payne. The cabin was beautiful and peaceful. We never even turned the television on. The restaurants and market in Mentone are fabulous. You are in Alabama but you feel as if you are far away. The atmosphere is just different in Mentone.

Peaceful cabin in woods

I took my adult son here to reconnect and spend one on one time with. This cabin, and the surrounding town, was perfect for doing that. The cabin was so comfortable and spacious, nestled in the woods on top of Lookout Mountain. A great place to watch birds at eye level while sitting on the porch sipping coffee wrapped in a blanket. An added bonus is to hear the church bells chime, from inside, as a gentle reminder of the time. Everything you need is here to cook, or grill, even a beautiful fireplace inside and pit outside for cozy fires. Kevin is a great host, who knows how to provide well for his guests and makes all feel at home. Highly recommend staying here!

We had a great time! We were able to hike and explore all day and return to a cozy cabin to rest and relax. The house was clean and just as described. Our host checked in on us after our first night and was hospitable and helpful. We would definitely recommend this cabin to family and friends.

Cabin was very private and comfortable. We had everything we needed. Bed (king) was super comfortable. We enjoyed being able to walk to Brow Park. Be advised that king bed is in a loft and twin beds are down a spiral staircase (didn’t use that bedroom). It wasn’t a problem for us, just know before you go. Bathroom is on main level, so hopefully very few nighttime bathroom trips. Kevin is an excellent host. We had no issue during our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Red Bird Roost. It was quiet, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked with all the basics, which made cooking easy and convenient. One of our favorite parts was the back porch. Perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or winding down in the evening. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and recharge.

Fantastic getaway

This house in Mentone was the perfect weekend getaway. Beautifully decorated with ample space for us within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Mentone. The cozy cabin had a comfortable seating in front of fireplace that was perfect for reading, working a puzzle, or watching football. We would love to visit again.
